NTT Com Develops Secure Access System with Human Area Networking Technology
2009-03-02
March 2, 2009 TOKYO, JAPAN - NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com)
announced today that together with Hitachi, Ltd. and MIWA LOCK Co., Ltd. it has
developed a new human-identification system using RedTacton, a Human Area
Networking technology developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation
that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high-speed network
transmission path.
RedTacton uses a transmission path established between the body of a person
carrying a RedTacton card key and a RedTacton transceiver installed in, for
example, a doorknob or floor.
The person is automatically identified when they touch the doorknob or walk on
the floor, and the transmission path is disconnected when the body and
transceiver physically separate.
Security demands are increasing in virtually every industry of Japan after
passage of compliance legislation similar to the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Companies have also been seeking less obtrusive systems for secure access, since
conventional systems require a contactless IC card to be waved over a terminal.
RedTacton enables a defined spot to serve as the point of identification,
whereas wireless and infrared communication require wider areas. Identification
points can be installed along the main areas of movement within a building,
thereby enabling repeated identification of people as they enter a secure area,
move about it and then exit. RedTacton is also highly scalable for systems
incorporating flapper gates, finger-vein authentication devices,
immersion-detection sensors or safety equipment.
NTT Com designed and constructed the system and manufactured the RedTacton card
key and reader. Hitachi designed the access management system and manufactured
related management and control devices. MIWA LOCK designed and manufactured the
RedTacton-equipped doorknob.
NTT Com will now begin promoting the new system for use by research facilities,
data centers and factories that require high security or cleanliness. Hitachi
will demonstrate the system at Security Show 2009, which will take place at the
Tokyo Big Sight exhibition complex from March 3 to 6.
